Praise given where its due! I found it to be a most enthralling article and couldn't wait for the next episode! I just wish I had a suitable garage, and the tools to undertake something as worthwhile as this. Your thread made me want to attempt something of this nature, and I'm working on a plan to borrow a friends garage next winter and try to do something similar, if not quite as detailed. I hope to increase my tool box contents during the summer, in anticipation of spending some serious time next winter, getting my ST3 back to as near showroom condition as I can. It's not in a bad state but it does need to be cleaned properly, and there's only one way to do that isn't there! Once again, many thanks for taking the time to explain just what you've done, and give me some idea of what I might be letting myself in for! Chris
